TERESA DAVIS

Survivor

In October of 2016 I had a non cancerous ovarian mass removed. In doing so, my
doctor clipped my bowel. (Sepsis and Perforated Bowel) I was sewn up, no drains
and stayed in the hospital a week before they let me go home. Within two weeks
of being home, I couldn’t eat, had no energy, was nauseous, and could not breath
if I attempted to lie back. They had me come in right away for a CT. From that
point I was given a sedation (during the CT), and sent to emergency surgery. The
bowel had been leaking content into ... Read Full Story

AUSTIN HORSLEY

Survivor, Survivor

I was driving home from work, and I got hit by an instant bad feeling. I thought
I just had a cold of some sorts. I took NyQuil and tried to sleep it off. I woke
up at 1 am and felt completely delusional. I was convulsing from my fever. I
drove myself to the emergency room in a snow storm only to collapse in the
waiting room. By the time I woke up, I was admitted into the hospital with a
temperature of 106.2. My body had been fried by the fever. Luckily I went in
when I did. ... Read Full Story

ALEXANDER NGUYEN

Survivor, Survivor, Survivor

Back in September of 2022 I started feeling sick which honestly just felt like
flu-like symptoms. I didn’t think anything of it besides just being sick. I
started just taking over the counter medication hoping it would stop. However, I
know I got sepsis through bacteria from open wounds from my MMA gym I go to.
(Sepsis and Bacterial Infections) I should’ve taken care of it sooner when my
wounds wouldn’t heal correctly and my body temperature kept constantly changing.
When I finally went to the hospital I was diagnosed with sepsis and was told
that I had a very ... Read Full Story

Hi, My name is Lee and I’m a dog attack victim and a sepsis and septic shock
survivor. I’m also a “DIC” and dry gangrene survivor. I have trouble
comprehending why I am so blessed! (Sepsis and Animal Bites, Sepsis and Septic
Shock, Sepsis and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) My story began on
Christmas Day, 2021 on a normal, daily walk with my wife and my two dogs through
our neighborhood park. It was a beautiful, exceptionally warm Christmas in North
Carolina when we left the house around 4:00pm. We strolled down through the park

KIMBERLY EMANUEL

Survivor, Survivor, Survivor, Survivor, Survivor

January 7th began with a sigh of relief. I had made it to 2nd semester and no
one in my home was affected by COVID. At that point, this was a major
accomplishment and I felt all of our precautions were successful. My husband
noticed that my responses this particular evening were off. He found my answers
odd and I seemed distracted. Following his instincts, he called 911. The
operator asked him to ask me my name. I was able to muster the first syllable
before losing consciousness. Within an hour of arriving at the hospital, I was
placed on ... Read Full Story
